We are only a week away from the start of the tour! I wanted to share what songs I really hope I get to scream at my shows. I am so lucky to be going to 3 shows! Arlington 4/2, Nashville, 5/7 and Philly 5/13. In all honesty, Taylor could stand on the stage and just single “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and I would still lose my mind. I do not like seeing fans making demands of what they do or don’t want Taylor Swift to play at her tour. Anything she plays will be amazing. I know it is impossible for her to play her entire catalogue in a 3 hour concert. So I am making this post as more of a wish list and to show you what songs mean the most to me. Taylor Swift has never disappointed me with her concerts and she is not about to start, after being away for 5 years.
- Cruel Summer: I will be screaming and crying to this entire song when it plays. I am confident she will play this song. I am obsessed with the bridge, but the line I will definitely scream the loudest is “I DON’T WANNA KEEP SECRETS JUST TO KEEP YOU!”
- Better Man (Taylor’s Version): I will be bawling my eyes out if she plays this song. I know the likelihood is so tiny, but hearing this song live would fix a part of my soul that broke in 2016. This songs means so much to me and continues to be one of my favs. I want to hear an entire stadium sing this song with me. “YOU NEVER THOUGHT I’D RUNNNN!”
- I’d Lie: If you thought I had a snowflakes chance in hell of Better Man being played, then the likelihood of this song being played is even smaller. Still, this is a made up list and I can put whatever I want. I hope I get to scream “I DON’T LET NOBODY SEE ME WISHING HE WAS MINE”.
- Better Than Revenge: Same goes for this song. I love pausing feminism for 3 minutes and 34 seconds in order to enjoy this BANGER! I have always loved this song and even though Taylor has said she does not like to perform this song live, I hope I get to scream “NO AMOUNT OF VINTAGE DRESSES GIVES YOU DIGNITY” in a few weeks. Please. It’s camp.
- august: This is the song off of folklore I am hoping for the most! It’s always been one of my favorites and I think the energy in the stadium will be incredible. I fully expect I will be able to scream “TO LIVE FOR THE HOPE OF IT ALL, CANCEL PLANS JUST IN CASE YOU’D CALL”
- the last great american dynasty: After going to Holiday House last year I will probably burst into tears if Taylor sings “AND THEN IT WAS BOUGHT BY ME”. I want to see the look on her face when she sings that line.
- Champagne Problems: This is an absolute must-listen to song for tour. I am feeling pretty confident she will play it (based on an interview she did with Apple Music) because I think we all want to scream “WHAT A SHAME SHE’S F*CKED IN THE HEAD, THEY SAID”
- Sparks Fly: The last time I heard this song live was the RED Tour! It was so magical. I am not feeling confident she will play this one, but I will freak out if I get to scream “DROP EVERYTHING NOW”.
- Mr. Perfectly Fine: I can’t believe Taylor kept this song from us for 13 years! This song would be so fun to sing and dance to in a stadium! I need to scream “AND SOMEDAY MAYBE YOU’LL MISS ME BUT BY THEN YOU’LL BE MR. TOO LATE”.
- White Horse (Taylor’s Version): I’ve never heard this song live. What a crime. It would be so fun to scream “I’M GONNA FIND SOMEONE SOMEDAY WHO MIGHT ACTUALLY TREAT ME WELL” in a stadium.
- Mastermind: My favorite line in all of Midnights is “NO ONE WANTED TO PLAY WITH ME AS A LITTLE KID, SO I’VE BEEN SCHEMING LIKE A CRIMINAL EVER SINCE. TO MAKE THEM LOVE ME AND MAKE IT SEEM EFFORTLESS”. Since its a closer on her latest album, I really do think we have a shot of hearing it live.
- The Story of Us: Last time I heard this song live was in 2011! Even if we don’t get Speak Now TV before tour, I really hope I get to scream “I’VE NEVER HEARD SILENCE QUITE THIS LOUD”.
- Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve: If I get to scream “GIVE ME BACK MY GIRLHOOD, IT WAS MINE FIRST” in a stadium full of people, my life will be complete.
